We're in an arena (drugs/libido) that I navigate as well as anyone on the planet here.

As Belizean police combed the property of expat antivirus pioneer John McAfee Sunday afternoon, McAfee was closer than they could have known. He’d seen them coming, and says he hid — burying himself in the sand with a cardboard box over his head so he could breathe. “It was extraordinarily uncomfortable,” he says. “But they will kill me if they find me.”

Wasn't this basically a CSI episode already

immediately thought of this http://theweek.com/article/index/218393/libertarian-island-a-billionaires-utopia

did he hack my debit card too?

McAfee is currently on the run from the police. “Under no circumstances am I going to willingly talk to the police in this country,” he told me this afternoon. “You can say I’m paranoid about it but they will kill me, there is no question. They’ve been trying to get me for months. They want to silence me. I am not well liked by the prime minister. I am just a thorn in everybody’s side.”

Nonetheless, McAfee insists he has no plans to leave the country. “I like it here,” he says “It’s the nicest place on earth.”

billionaire libertarian island: "literally a garbage bag full of Viagra"

so his neighbor poisoned his dogs so he killed him, then he evaded the police by hiding under a cardboard box

You couldnt make this shit up. Or want to.

can't believe this guy's a suspect just cos he chooses to live on a private paedo island beyond the law

Meanwhile, Peter Norton is thinking 'Jeepers! I hope the police don't find out about those two overdue library books from 1965 that I haven't returned!'

John McAfee: real-life Solid Snake.

wow, that escalated incredibly quickly

If this wasn't real, it'd be a story that Hunter S. Thompson and William S. Burroughs came up with and then shelved for being too unbelievable.

Joshua Davis ‏@JoshuaDavisNow
McAfee called just now: "I am adept at hiding. I will do whatever it takes to stay alive."

Joshua Davis ‏@JoshuaDavisNow
McAfee 7:05AM PST: "Power was just cut to the house I'm in. I think this is it."

According to Wired, McAfee is avoiding the authorities by "burying himself in the sand with a cardboard box over his head" because he's afraid of being interrogated. "It was extraordinarily uncomfortable," he said. "But they will kill me if they find me."

From the article in the top post: most appropriate internet handle for a billionaire Libertarian:

http://gizmodo.com/5959812/john-mcafee-wanted-for-murder

Writing under the name "stuffmonger," a handle he has used on other online message boards, McAfee posted more than 200 times over the next nine months about his ongoing quest to purify psychoactive drugs from compounds commercially available over the internet. "I'm a huge fan of MDPV," he wrote. "I think it's the finest drug ever conceived, not just for the indescribable hypersexuality, but also for the smooth euphoria and mild comedown."

Elsewhere, he described his pursuit of "super perv powder" and warned about the dangers of handling the freebase version of the drug: "I had visual and auditory hallucinations and the worst paranoia of my life." He recommended that the most effective way to take a dose is via rectal insertion, a procedure known as "plugging," writing: "Measure your dose, apply a small amount of saliva to just the tip of your middle finger, press it against the dose, insert. Doesn't really hurt as much as it sounds. We're in an arena (drugs/libido) that I navigate as well as anyone on the planet here. If you take my advice about this (may sound gross to some of you perhaps), you will be well rewarded."

We're in an arena (getting really high and murdering my neighbor) that I navigate as well as anyone on the planet here.

'Super perv powder' is sheer poetry.

my new favorite thread imo

lmao am0n

This is all a scary, sad, crazy shit show.

I consider myself friends with John, though I haven't heard from him in many months. I visited him in Belize (ok, he flew me down) a couple of years ago. He was kind, thoughtful, funny and a showman - not a batshit kook.

the gizmodo stuff does seem like its sensationalizing a good bit. so u never caught wind of any of the guns/drugs/libido stuff??

stuffmonger

There were no drugs, while I was there; there was no weird sex, no firearm fetishism. I can believe that lots changed after (or spurring) the departure of Jennifer, but John was an eccentric, not a dirtbag.

Yes Gizmodo are definitely sensationalizing; you can tell from what they <I>imply</i> about Allison, without any direct quotes. (I knew Allison.)

were u a... sky gypsy?

you know they broke this story, right? and they're famously on the outs with apple?

Joshua Davis ‏@JoshuaDavisNow
McAfee says the police raided the house next door to where he was and he evaded them.

Joshua Davis ‏@JoshuaDavisNow
McAfee just called: He has changed locations. The police have not caught him yet.

kinda how i want to go out tbh. minus the killing anybody part.

this is incredibly bizarre

Mr. John McAfee was more than pleased to help out the community of La Isla Bonita which he calls home. His donation included equipment for the police officers, housing for five police officers and a boat for transportation. Equipment donation included tasers, handcuffs, hydration packs, flashing lights, metal detectors, pistol belts, pepper spray and batons, to name a few.

On behalf of Minister Heredia, Mr. Kevin Gonzalez, presented a short speech to those in attendance and also presented six of twelve Motorola hand-held radios for the department. Assistant Superintendent Vienie Robinson delivered the vote of thanks after the official presentation of equipment which was carried out by Mr. John McAfee, Mayor Daniel Guerrero and Mr. Keving Gonzalez.

I feel like our world needs more scorn for decadence

McAffee the company should consider an ad which is just a picture of McAfee the man in the midst of a whalefucking frenzy with text reading 'failed to update' underneath.

Have we ever been able to ascertain exactly when a Warren Ellis character gained sentience and founded a software company? Feels like something we should be making a bigger deal about but I dunno.

i read this thread title as "john mcphee is wanted for murder," as in the dude who writes about geology and oranges for the new yorker, and was genuinely confused for a second

I Am a presidential candidate with 1.2 mil  followers. My crime is not filing tax returns - not a crime. The rest is propaganda by the U.S. government to silence me. My voice is the voice of dissent. If I am silenced, dissent itself will be next.

— John McAfee (@officialmcafee) July 19, 2019

I think it actually might be a crime

23 hrs since his last tweet, i guess dissent is next

important not to forget this perspective tho (from the bitcoins thread)

i don't really look for narrative logic connecting the various snapshots i get of mcafee's life

this is where we were 24 hrs ago:

(3/4) If John misses his next check-in, events will be set into motion that I cannot prevent once they have begun. John has secreted data with individuals across the world. I know neither their identities or locations. They will release their payloads if John goes missing.

haters and authority-loving, bootlicking cowards take note:

(3/3) Finally, to the few haters and authority-loving, bootlicking cowards rooting for John's demise - what more can be said but: fuck off. Enjoy it while you can, because your time is coming. #freemcafee --@loggiaonfire

love all the bots that got airdropped bitcoins

Oh I thought the bitcoin being worth $500k bet was up. Looks like he still has another year.

I just browsed his wikipedia entry, that was quite a ride

My favorite was when he angrily threw a pizza on the roof of his house.

Every time I see his name crop up or see a picture of him - always visibly wired out of his gourd on who knows what combination of drugs and surrounded by guns & ammo - I'm always amazed that he hasn't been accidentally shot, either by himself or one of his hangers on.

no release date for the movie yet >:(

what a weirdo

lookin like marc maron's evil brother

A lot of disciples in his replies fantasising about being on the techno-lam (as wanted abusers of young women presumably).

John David McAfee, who earned millions from the computer virus-fighting software company that still bears his surname, has been arrested in Spain on tax evasion charges. His extradition to the U.S. is pending, the authorities said.https://t.co/HlIvCFMPap

— The New York Times (@nytimes) October 6, 2020

I guess his methods for avoiding arrest worked about as well as his antivirus.

they should let him have one last bullfight like Bodhi in Point Break
